the driver and co- has to be changed due to engine emplacement on the front side?

In the first design it was on left (hence the driver side in TR and Europe), now they have aligned it to Indonesia i suppose.

FNSS has released images a while ago, and gone unnoticed; The landscape looks like Indonesia, as far as i have seen. Looks like a new line of KAPLAN-AFV

The camo paint is also the Indonesian Army camo for the Harimau Tank.

Looks a bit too big to be an IFV so it's probably an APC variant?

The difference between IFV and APC usually just what turret put on it

 

[Umigami]

for IFV variant, I bet they gonna put that 30 mm Kosher turret from east europe

The engine is moved to the front, might as well try to make SPH version.

For heavier platform like Harimau, turret does have to be that light and compact, also:

At IDEB 2023, the Slovak company EVPÚ a. s. and the Indonesian company PT Republik DEFENS signed a cooperation agreement on the use of the Slovak TURRA 30 combat turret in the conditions of the Indonesian defence industry. The TURRA 30 remote-controlled weapon system, which is used on light...

Only fitting to put it here as well I think.

"We have made a 2nd agreement for KAPLAN APC for the Indonesian Land Forces. 2 prototypes will be produced, one in Turkey and the other at PINDAD facilities in Indonesia. We aim to complete the qualification in 2025 and deliver 2 vehicles in 2026. We hope that order negotiations will continue afterwards."

By FNSS;

FNSS - FNSS Showcases the Newest Member of the Tracked Vehicle Family, KAPLAN APC’s Conceptual Design; Joint Development and Production Program with PT PINDAD

www.fnss.com.tr

The KAPLAN APC will be designed as a modular vehicle capable of integrating both manned and unmanned turret systems. It can be equipped with light and medium calibers such as 30 mm or 35 mm as well as 120 mm mortars and anti-tank guided missile systems.


This modular design will enable the KAPLAN APC to be configured for a wide array of missions, including mechanized infantry, reconnaissance, command and control, force protection, medical evacuation, rescue operations, combat engineering, and both direct and indirect fire support.


All these configurations are built on an armored combat vehicle platform that is equipped with a powerful engine and an automatic transmission, ensuring mobility capabilities compatible with modern main battle tanks.


The extensive use of identical parts and subsystems in the KAPLAN APC, with KAPLAN MT and other configurations within the ACV-AD tracked vehicle family, will offer significant advantages. Additionally, the vehicle will share common subsystems with the Marine Assault Vehicle (MAV), which FNSS has deployed to the Turkish Naval Forces, Marine Infantry Brigade. These features will ensure the KAPLAN APC's reliability, logistical integration, and ease of service, leveraging proven components from a battle-proven vehicle family used by the Turkish and Indonesian armies. This advantage will also reduce logistical burdens for global users, improve mean time between failures (MTBF), and enhance combat readiness.

Some Tukish twitter said this is purchase agreement.
Unfortunately this is still development agreement between Pindad and FNSS, no guarantee TNI will purchase it yet.
